Locust Hill Cemetery, nestled in Evansville, IN's northside, stands as a cherished historic burial ground and arboretum. With over 168 years of dedicated service to the community, it holds a significant place in Evansville's history. Operated by the City of Evansville, this tranquil setting pays homage to the past and provides a serene resting place for many.
Among the notable figures interred here is Corporal James Bethel Gresham, one of the first soldiers to fall in combat during World War I. As a testament to its commitment to honoring veterans, a new soldier section was established in 1945 to accommodate the growing need. Recognized in 2018 by the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and The Pritzker Military Museum & Library, Locust Hill stands as a poignant memorial to those who served their country with bravery and sacrifice.
